Description
Seeing further improved, perhaps becoming the best it has been while imaging Mars with the C14.

Notes:
Syrtis Major is rising.
The atmosphere above Mare Cimmerium appears to be less opaque than surrounding areas.
Hellas Basin has a few yellow clouds streaking over it.
The South Polar Cap still appears to be muted by the dust storm.
Most of the SPC also appears to be darkened.
